when were not training for a powerlifting meet we normally lean toward a bodybuilding style routine. It helps us gain more muscle mass and work on auxillary excercise more than a focus on the 3 main lifts.

the DB work has helped us get stronger & more explosive off the chest. The higher reps is what we also use to lower bodyfat, it is weightlifting cardio.

Shannon wants to focus on moving into BB while I want to do a few more Powerlifting meets later this year.

Does that mess you up at all when training together, or preparing meals at home?

for the last 7years we have both competed in full powerlifting so we have the same routine just different weight. And even now we have the same training routine. once I start preparing for a meet our training routines will change but we will be at the gym at the same time. So for instance, I may be doing BB press and she'll be doing Db press or inclines. while I deadlift she'll be doing chinups.

meals: her meals during the day will be somewhat different than mine but supper will prob be the same for us.

It has worked for us pretty good so far.

That's fantastic. You're both very fortunate to share a love for something so obscure!
